Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الْقَطَّانُ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ سَعِيدَ بْنَ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ : قِيلَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَكْرَمُ؟، قَالَ :" أَتْقَاهُمْ "
قَالُوا : لَيْسَ عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ، قَالَ : " فَيُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ بْنُ نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ بْنِ خَلِيلِ اللَّهِ "، قَالُوا : لَيْسَ عَنْ هَذَا نَسْأَلُكَ، قَالَ : " فَعَنْ مَعَادِنِ الْعَرَبِ تَسْأَلُونِي؟ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِذَا فَقُهُوا "

English Translation
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'It was said: O Messenger of Allah, who is the most honorable of people? He said: The most pious among them. They said: We do not ask about that. He said: Then the most honorable is Joseph, the Prophet of Allah, son of the Prophet of Allah, son of the Prophet of Allah, son of the close friend of Allah. They said: We do not ask about that. He said: Are you then asking about the best lineages of the Arabs? The best of them in the era of ignorance are the best of them in Islam, if they have understanding.'
